Dunwoody resident Lam Rarbaje, a native of Morocco, has worked in the restaurant industry for almost three decades. Atmosphere: Rarbaje said Olive’s is a popular choice for the lunch crowds in the area. The small cafe offers booth and table seating. Customers should check out the beginnings of a mural on the far right wall from the entrance. Rarbaje said the custom mural, created by one of his friends who is an artist, will be finished soon. Menu: While pizza is certainly on the menu, Olive’s Oven and Grill is more than a pizzeria. The restaurant offers made-from-scratch Italian and American cuisine with the most popular selec-

tions falling under the categories of paninis and wraps. The Olive’s panini is a popular menu item, made with grilled chicken, pepperoni, provolone cheese and marinara sauce on homemade focaccia bread, which Rarbaje said is a big draw. The most popular wrap is the Greek wrap made with grilled chicken instead of gyro meat, along with romaine lettuce, feta cheese,
calamata olives and Caesar dressing. The Good Old Boy is another popular menu selection. The 1⁄2-pound burger is topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red onion and mayonnaise and served with a salad or fries. Popular entrees include the lasagna — layers of pasta stuffed with beef and ricotta, romano and mozzarella cheeses baked in a

marinara sauce — and the baked shells — shells stuffed with ricotta and romano cheeses baked with mozzarella and marinara sauce. Both dishes are served with a salad and garlic bread. Olive’s offers 11 specialty pizzas, from the bacon cheese burger — pizza topped with bacon, ground chuck and cheddar cheese — to the spanakopita — toppings include spinach, feta,
mozzarella and romano cheeses. Olive’s specials change every three months to coincide with the current season. Summer specials include the Sicilian chicken flatbread made with grilled chicken, roasted eggplant, roasted tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. The Olive’s burger is also a summer special. The 1 ⁄2-pound burger is topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce,
tomato, grilled red onions and chipotle mayonnaise. A lunch pizza combo is available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for customers dining in and include a slice of pizza, a small salad and a drink for $5.50. Olive’s serves sodas, tea and water. During the winter, the beverage offerings are expanded to include cappuccinos, lattes and mochas. Things you might not know: Rarbaje uses what he calls the best cheese available — Grande cheese — in all his dishes. “Even if we don’t make a lot of money, we use the best products,” he said. “That’s just the way I am.”
LOCAL EVENT
Local belly dancers to hold devilish showcase BY DEANNA ALLEN STAFF WRITER deanna.allen @gwinnettdailypost.com
For belly dance instructors Natalie Brown and Asharah, the devil, as the saying goes, is in the details. This weekend those details will carry over from the duo’s workshop series into a theatrical belly dance show. The performance, which has been dubbed The Devil Went Down to Georgia, will showcase the talents of not only Brown and Asharah, who will dance solo pieces and a duet, but talented belly dancers from throughout the Southeast, including Jahara Phoenix Dance Company of Lawrenceville, Awalim Dance Company and Raf’iah Dance Company, both of Atlanta, as well as troupes and soloists from Tennessee. The show coincides with the workshop, The Devil in the Details, Brown and Asharah will offer Saturday and Sunday at Dance Fusion and Fitness in Lawrenceville. The performance will feature the art of tribal fusion belly dance. “If people are coming to the show who are not familiar with belly dance they might be pleasantly surprised to see it’s much more diverse than what they see on television and in the movies as a little

DEAR ENEMY
Local bands take to the stage at Wild Bill’s BY DEANNA ALLEN STAFF WRITER deanna.allen @gwinnettdailypost.com
Rock music will serve as the sound of summer 2010 at this Gwinnett venue. Wild Bill’s of Duluth has created a summer music concert series to specifically showcase local rock bands making their marks on the music scene. Gogi Randhawa, a guitarist and vocalist for Dear Enemy, which will perform July 31, said his band welcomes the exposure the concert series provides. “There’s so much talent it almost seems like local Atlanta bands don’t really get the push that they need,” Randhawa said. Wild Bill’s, he said, is different from other venues in the metro area. “They’re always really concerned about a band making a good draw,” Randhawa said. “It’s always a really cool thing when the venue doesn’t sit back and wait for bands to do the work.” “Wild Bill’s is definitely centered around music and taking care of the bands,” said Demun Jones, a member of the Atlanta-based band Rehab. “Anyone who

goes out of their way to help us in our efforts we appreciate it. Our fans appreciate it also.” Rehab will close out the
concert series, which kicked off June 10 with the bands Almost Kings and Kadense, followed by Ultradrive, Eleven Standing Still and SidAerial performing July 17. The remaining lineup of bands includes Dangerous New Machine and Sub Cam performing alongside Dear Enemy on Saturday and Yelawolf, Mother’s Mustache and Mastamindz opening the final show for Rehab on Aug. 7. Jason Gates, production manager for Wild Bill’s, said the remaining concerts in the series will be big productions with the

bands making the most of the expansive 30-by-60 stage, drum risers and a top-of-the line production staff that manages sound and lighting elements. “The bands themselves look bigger than life,” Gates said. For Dear Enemy, this means another opportunity to simply be themselves as a band. “We’re definitely not a band that stands there and stares at our shoes,” Randhawa said. “You’ll definitely see us super, high energy running across the stage. There won’t be a person in the room that will leave bored.”

ART BEAT
Visual artist Anita Stewart creates bird woman Anita Stewart’s life is never dull. If she isn’t teaching art classes at her “Anita’s ArtsCool,” she is putting up exhibitions of her work or creating South African Pinky Pinkys in her spare time. Her latest Pinky Pinky has now made a television debut and has been given the unforgettable name of Miss Shabalabadingdong by one of Anita’s students. A Pinky Pinky is a threedimensional South African version of the Boogie Man, and Anita had seen a whole installation of them in a Capetown, South Africa, exhibition. That was 2007. Since then, Anita has made

her own version out of recycled materials, but her latest creation came about from a more friendly inspiration. Anita recently met and befriended Adrianne Jenning who is a producer for
Channel 24, a public broadcasting station in Atlanta. Anita and Adrienne discovered that they were both nicknamed “Bird,” and since she had asked Anita to bring her art to be featured on her television show called “Local to Legendary,” Anita had an idea. “I thought it would be a real treat to design a bird woman Pinky Pinky to celebrate our nickname,” Stewart said. “So I decided to make a life-sized sculpture and asked friends to help dress her. This bird woman is a compilation of gifts from many people — a real community project.”

The bird woman is made of recycled materials and includes everything from a bright pink wig to kudzu vines. The television show airs on Tuesday evenings on channel 24 in Atlanta, but Gwinnett viewers can see it via live streaming on their computers. The show is repeated often, so check Atlanta listings for time and topic. Anita made a presentation at Suwanee’s Level Creek Elementary recently, showing students how to create art out of recycled materials by using the bird Special Photo woman as an example.

Miss Shabalabadingdong currently sits alongside Anita in her car, and she will be putting in an appearance for Suwanee Day in September. Anita will be returning to South Africa in August, and she says, “Who knows what crazy art will result from that trip?” Artwork inspired by her previous trip can be
found at AfricArt Gallery at 162 E. Crogan St. in Lawrenceville. More of Anita’s work is on view at Studio 8 Gallery at 355 Brogdon Road, Suite 201 in Suwanee, and at the Suwanee Public Library as a part of the Buford Artist Group exhibition. ArtsCool students work will be put up at the Kroger store on Buford Highway in Buford on Monday and Tuesday. Kroger is hosting a reception for Buford students and their parents from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, and the public is invited. “The store manager, Steve Pagel, is very excited about this and hopes to
put a picture of our kids and their artwork in the Kroger newsletter,” Stewarts said. Later that week, Anita will be teaching a workshop at DeVry Business College on July 31. “It’s a workshop for teachers who are looking for ways to incorporate their right brain thinking and hands on activities with subjects like math, science, language arts, social sciences and psychology,” Stewart said.

ing that includes the current Russian and American presidents coming up, the entire U.S. intelligence community is on high alert. Viewers are likely to suffer a momentary flash of disappointment when the “is she or isn’t she” question regarding Salt’s allegiance is answered less than halfway through the film. The same thing might happen when early, seemingly minor plot discrepancies later turn into gaping holes. Also no person, no matter how talented or elusive, could pull off what Salt does here and in a few spots the story borders on self-parody. The good news is that most audiences — and even a few film critics — don’t go into a movie like “Salt” expecting air-tight logic. We go for the adrenaline-fueled action and on just that level “Salt” never fails to deliver. For this
everyone needs to thank Australian director Philip Noyce. Having spent the last 10 years churning out intelligent, under-the-radar art films, Noyce displayed some serious mainstream/action chops in the late ’80s and early ’90s with the hat trick that was “Dead Calm,” “Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger.” The latter two — based on Tom Clancy novels and starring Harrison Ford — made Noyce an ideal choice for “Salt” and his absolute minimal dependency on CGI here lends the production an earthy, old-school level of believability most technology-dependent directors couldn’t fathom. “Salt” isn’t perfect but it is one of the very few 2010 non-sequel live-action movies worth its weight in a most obvious pun.

next-door neighbor Hobart (Josh Duhamel) is probably the most intriguing aspect of the movie — at least for anyone over the age of 12. Bea and Hobart were highschool sweethearts; 15 years later, he wants her to accompany him to Alaska. Goodwin and Duhamel (who costarred in “Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!”) are extremely cute together and have tons of chemistry — but most of their moments are upended by Ramona’s silliness. She ruins Hobart’s car by spilling paint all over it in a rainbow of colors. She nearly burns down the kitchen trying to make dinner. She can’t even do show-and-tell right in class (Sandra Oh has some deadpan zingers as her strict teacher). Then she falls through the upstairs floor and into the living room while a real estate agent is showing the Quimbys’ house. Yes, the family may have to move from their idyllic Portland neighborhood when dad’s job gets downsized, and mom’s part-time job isn’t enough to keep the family afloat. Ramona tries to help raise money, which always ends up in disaster. In theory, this could have been useful for families to watch together if they’re going through similar troubles in these trying economic times. Instead, “Ramona and Beezus” opts for cliches — right down to playing “Walking on Sunshine” during an obligatory montage. Kids and grown-ups both deserve smarter entertainment. (20th Century Fox)

MOVIES DISC SPOTLIGHT
NOWSHOWING
MICHAEL CLARK
Recently reviewed films now playing in theaters:
The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers (NR) Movie: ★★★★ Disc: ★★★★ ★ Usurped by the relatively sexier Watergate conspiracy, the scandal during and immediately after the publication of the infamous “Pentagon Papers” was arguably the most devastating and wide-reaching whistle-blower case in U.S. government history. After being privy to the detailed history of the Vietnam War (dating back to 1940!), Harvard Ph.D., former Marine and hawkish war strategist Ellsberg risked everything by turning over reams of ultratop secret documents to the press, calling five presidents to task and effectively end-
ing the war. This riveting and engrossing documentary will boil your blood and pin your ears back. Technical specs: aspect ratio: Widescreen (16:9), audio: English (Dolby Digital 5.1, Stereo), subtitles: English. Special features include: • Celebrity endorsement interviews • Audio-only Nixon tapes • “Ellsberg Today” featurette (First Run Features, $27.95)
• Despicable Me (PG) Far more acerbic and intelligent than its cutesy trailers would indicate, this animated masterpiece featuring Steve Carell as a twisted, mad-scientist criminal who becomes the unlikely father of three orphaned girls is a triumph on every level. 4 stars — Michael Clark • The Kids Are All Right (R) One of the very few gay/lesbian-themed features without a marked political agenda, “TKAAR” instead presents a balanced, family values type examination regarding anonymous seed donation and the desire to know the origin of two kids’ mystery dad. 3 stars — MC • The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

ALLIED S FILMMAKER
(PG-13) Whether it was mostly negative reviews or a general lack of interest, audiences largely avoided this “Harry Potter” wanna-be starring Nicolas Cage as a 15century-old Svengali charged with tutoring a blasé heir to a mystical dynasty. 11⁄2 stars — MC • Knight and Day (PG-13) Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz break out of their collective slumps in this action thriller directed by James Mangold. More “Mission: Impossible” than “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” it’s not nearly as funny as the trailers indicate but is still quite worthwhile. 3 stars — MC • Twilight Saga: Eclipse (PG-13) While slightly better than the first two, the third installment of this tepid occult soap opera only serves those
faithful to the series of books that spawned it. Rarely has there been so much attention lavished on something so strikingly sub-par. 2 stars — MC • I Am Love (R) This full-ofitself Italian art film is notable only for its occasional resemblance to “The Godfather” and a semi-stirring performance from lead Tilda Swinton as a wandering matriarch with some superfluous midlife and latent child-rearing issues. 11⁄2 stars — MC • Grown Ups (PG-13) Adam Sandler and his off-screen cronies get together for a “family” film that is unsuitable for children or anyone with a semi-intelligent sense of humor. It’s better than last year’s similarly themed “Couples Retreat” but not by much. 1 star — MC

FILM FANS
Film Fans: ‘Inception’ good but confusing EDITOR’S NOTE — Film Fans features local residents reviewing the film of the week: “Inception.” Want to be a Film Fan? Email features@gwinnettdailypost.com.
★★★★ ★ “Inception” is an imaginative, intriguing movie that requires your full attention. You sometimes wonder whether you are watching a “real” or dream sequence. It is also Francine someBenoit times a challenge to keep up with the dream-within-a-dream sequences. The film may lose audience members who don’t want to make the effort required to remain fully engaged in the (sometimes convoluted) plot. One flaw is that it is simply too long in two particular scenes; the snow scene and the gravity scene are unnecessarily dragged out and go back and forth too many times. You have to keep your eyes on the screen to keep things straight, otherwise you will lose track of what is going on. Overall, this is entertaining and, as always, Leonardo DiCaprio is fabulous. — Francine Benoit, Lawrenceville

Philips Arena ranked one of the top venues FROM STAFF REPORTS For the 11th year in a row, Atlanta’s Philips Arena was ranked one of the top concert and events venues in the United States by Pollstar magazine. Philips Arena was named the No. 2 venue in the United States and the
No. 5 venue in the world. Pollstar, a concert industry trade publication, based its rankings on show attendance at venues during the first half of 2010. In the last six months, Philips Arena hosted several sold-out concerts featuring bigname stars including the Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z,
Bon Jovi and Nickelback. “We believe we have one of the preeminent sports and entertainment venues in the world, and these rankings reaffirm that millions of guests and artists believe this too,” said Bob Williams, the president of the Atlanta Hawks and Philips Arena.
